Methods
Isotope offers several methods to extend functionality. Isotope’s methods follow the jQuery UI pattern.
$('#container').isotope( 'methodName', [optionalParameters] )
addItems
.isotope( 'addItems', $items, callback )
Adds item elements to the pool of item elements of the container, but does sort, filter or layout. See Adding items for more details. The argument within the callback is the group of elements that were added.
appended
.isotope( 'appended', $items, callback )
Adds item elements via addItems
method, then triggers layout
just for those new elements. Useful for Infinite Scroll. See Adding items for more details.
destroy
.isotope( 'destroy' )
Removes Isotope functionality completely. Returns element back to pre-init state.
insert
.isotope( 'insert', $items, callback )
Appends items elements to container, adds items to via addItems
method, and then triggers reLayout
method so new elements are properly filtered, sorted and laid-out. See Adding items for more details.
layout
.isotope( 'layout', $items, callback )
Positions specified item elements in layout.
layout
will only position specified elements, and those elements will be positioned at the end of layout. Whereas reLayout
will position all elements in the Isotope widget.
option
.isotope( 'option', options )
Modifies options for plugin instance.
reLayout
.isotope( 'reLayout', callback )
Resets layout properties and lays-out every item element.
remove
.isotope( 'remove', $items )
Removes specified item elements from Isotope widget and the DOM.
updateSortData
.isotope( 'updateSortData', $items )
Updates the sorting data on specified item elements. This method is useful if the data within an item is changed dynamically after Isotope has been initialized.
